Tijuana, 6/23/2000
Enrique Hernandez (with finger raised), general secretary of the independent October 6 union, accuses the Mexican deputy labor secretary Moctezuma Barragan (not shown) of allowing the beating of independent unionists at a meeting organized by the Mexican government to discuss the right to form independent unions. Armando Reyes (l) and Ramiro Orea (c) are organizers of an independent union for street sellers in Ensenada. All were beaten and expelled from the meeting at Tijuana's swanky Camino Real hotel.
